I’ve had a Duro for 5 years, it still keeps near perfect time, 1 battery change. Fabulous value.

That’s very cool. Thanks for showing it us! I heard Marc from Long Island Watch say he would love to see a partnership between Casio and Citizenship to see an Automatic Duro. That would be something else. Thanks!

I have an MDV-130 and a vintage frogman... I can agree with you that Casio did make better stuff back then. It reminds me of the super illuminator on some of the new watches. Great feature on a meh watch. This seems very nice on the other hand! Weight doesn't mean quality but it does give you assurance haha! In 2005 I was an 18 year old kid hahahaha! That means you and I share both watch tastes and a birthyear by the sounds of it. That also means the big 40 is looming for you too. 🥲Have a fantastic weekend bro!

That’s a nice fine. I’ve seen those on eBay as well and yes you are right. Some of them are beat to shit but still that’s a classic. I remember back in the days 80s 90s going to stores and seeing watches like that absolutely missed those times.

I like the current Duro, but it is a damn shame that Casio opted to remove the 102 from their catalogue, because the Duro is NOT an acceptable replacement.

Really nice watch. Ok, 20 years ago 80 bucks didn't been the same as today but a value is absolutely insane. In my opinion it would be great even without the date window. It's impossible to find a new parts for it today which is really sad situation. It seems like since the beginning Casio builds some unknown masterpieces but it takes a decades to be recognized and then it's usually too late. And also it seems like Casio have some ''hidden gems'' period once in a 10 years but somehow that goes under the radar. To be honest, I'm really not sure will that happen in this decade. I like it a lot more than Duro MDV-106, every single part of the watch looks nicer and sturdier. Good job

@degenerateWA

Exactly. The 106 is "okay"; nothing special. The 102 was very special. Maybe the fact that it was discontinued makes it so much better. Who knows. I don't understand what the hell any of these companies are thinking.

I am actually kinda confused why Casio never made G-Shock in this visual. This is gorgeous. I had mine 15 years ago but was dropped and light button mashed inside can't be repaired thus the light is constantly on which is draining the battery. Thus now unusable. But. Still looks gorgeous. I think Casio listened about the problem and made the later model with button protected

If the Japanese are good at anything, it's making the coolest stuff ever and discontinuing them👎

I've got 2 of these one in mint condition which is kept that way the other has a few acrylic scratches and is in the midst of getting a polywatch clean up which I use for regular wearing. This to me is the best of the Duro range, it has the LED backlight to compensate for the average to poor lume ( as you mention this was a bargain price watch and no bargain watches had good lume back then) , but unlike most of the Casio diver style watches with the LED light it has the full 200m rating, it's basically an MDV-106 but better. Ones in good condition are getting hard to find and prices are going up so anyone who has one should keep it nice and hang on to it. cheers!

You have excellent foresight. A mint condition 102 is a special thing indeed👌🍻

one of your coolest videos, never knew about this model but it did strike something special, plus that montage in k-mart was awesome. Does it need an adapter to put on the NATO strap?

Can’t believe how pricey these are now. Once Casio discontinues a model the prices skyrocket.
